Organizer information

The official autumn schedule placed Phase One on October 15–19, 2026, with Hardware among its exhibition categories.

Keep the autumn sourcing conversation practical

Buyers reviewing black socket screws, flange bolts and carriage bolts can make follow-up easier by agreeing one specification sheet for each proposed item. Do not assume that a sample, catalogue and quotation describe exactly the same finish or property class.

Before accepting a revised offer

• Compare the drawing revision, property class and finish line by line.
• Ask for written confirmation of any substitution or exclusion.
• Confirm packaging, shipment timing and the final destination used for freight estimates.

Buyer takeaway: request a written, item-specific quotation and keep engineering approval separate from commercial negotiation. This article is an editorial sourcing brief, not a report that AcroTek exhibited at or attended the event.
